I knew the kids who made the original Harlem shake video but that’s the closest thing I got
Like PinkGuy/Joji from the meme or the actual song?
I missed that whole meme, but back then my fiancée was working at a firm that was representing someone trying to assert IP rights on the dance. It didn't make much sense to me why an Australian firm would be involved.
Reading up the history now to see how it started, I'm just more confused. I guess the Aussie channel that kicked off the meme wanted credit for making it big, even though they copied Filthy Frank?
